But the avalanches usually seen lying in high Alpine valleys, covered with dust, earth and stones of trees, are known as compact avalanches. and great trunks grundlawinen or , It was a grand sight on which we gazed. Glaciers filled every valley and ravine, und the ice stood up in tall ramparts wherever the space was too narrow to hold its rigid waves. Glacier ice is snow that has for a considerable time been subjected to enormous pressure. If you squeeze a snowball in your hand until it is very hard it becomes icy. So in the Alps, the continual fall of snow is the pressure and the sun’s heat the warmth which produces those seas of ice that are called glaciers. There are over 600 of them in Switzerland, and some are coeval with the glacial period of this continent, while others are now in process‘of formation. Winter is their season of rest, but with the spring they resume their onward motion, due to the combined heat and gravitation. action of For in spite of their mountains’ sides. The glacier starting in its purity from some white unsullied peak, loses before many years its spotless character. wintry frosts gathering into the streams that trickle down tain sides expand the water The iron bonds the moun- in freezing and shatter rocks with a force that the most solid cliffs cannot possibly resist. Thus broken fragments drop on to the once unspotted bosom of the ice sea and swell its burden with advancing years. The debris thus brought down form what are called moraines. Hach glacier has a moraine on either side of it; its end is a terminal moraine, and when two glaciers unite their lateral moraines join and form a medial moraine. One of the largest medial moraines hereabout I saw as we eame down from this excursion. It is in the center of the Morteratsch Glacier and is about fifty feet or more broad and _ perhaps twenty feet high in its center. We were struck by the infinite whiteness of everything, and I have since learned that it is owing to the presence of vlacier corn. There is on glacier clad mountains a neye, or finely crystallized snow, which is never fully melted, and this is the pressure that forms the glacier ice to Now, that glacier which ice is results quite from different freezing water, and is found to consist of crystals varying in size from that of a hen’s egg to a pin’s head; these particles are known as granules or glacier corn, and in minute holes air is imprisoned. Where the air bubbles are absent the glacier has a blueish tint, and is no longer that pure white which puzzles so many persons.
